TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 01, 2017 -- Greenleaf Capital, LLC, the real estate division of HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE:HCI), has acquired full ownership of the Pineda Landings Shopping Center, located in Melbourne, Florida, by purchasing its co-developer’s 10% interest in the center. Since development began in 2014, Greenleaf has invested approximately $3.9 million in the center, which is subject to a $9.4 million construction mortgage loan and currently valued at approximately $17 million. The construction mortgage loan is due in February 2017, but can be converted to a three-year loan.
The purchase of the co-developer’s interest was preceded by a series of transactions, including a distribution of ownership interests to Greenleaf and its co-developer. As a result of these transactions, Greenleaf expects to contribute approximately $3.6 million of pre-tax income to HCI Group’s results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
The newly-built 49,995 square-foot shopping center is anchored by The Fresh Market, which is part of a chain of 137 gourmet supermarkets located in 27 states, and includes premium in-line retail tenants, such as Jersey Mike’s, Orangetheory Fitness, Supercuts, Scottrade and Expedia. Greenleaf co-developed the center and was the principal source of funding. By agreement with its co-developer, Greenleaf was entitled to acquire the co-developer’s interest in the project at a pre-determined formula price once the center was substantially occupied and stable. Greenleaf and its co-developer continue to own several outparcels adjoining the center.
“In the past year, Greenleaf has added valuable assets to its portfolio having cost bases well below market value,” said Anthony Saravanos, President of Greenleaf Capital. “We plan to continue expanding and diversifying our real estate portfolio while carefully evaluating accretive growth opportunities.”
